I've got a pretty fun Monster Muta performance (and far more fun due to the reactions of the other wrestlers to him) from Mexico popping up on Friday on Segunda Caida.

There is an unwritten rule between Lazlo and myself that gif battles only last one day.

It should be revealed that it's part of the dianetics of the Bo-Liever movement.

I imagine tacked on might have been a poor choice of words. That was my problem with the tag matches so far. They could have ended them earlier and if they did, it would have worked better. Instead, they tacked on another 5-10 minutes. With the singles match, it's different. It's more a matter of bloat. They do something twice when doing it once would have honed the focus better. They did something three times when two would have actually been smarter and more effective. I actually get the idea that they need to do one move a second time in order to "unlock" another move which could explain things like the second power bomb leading to the stretch plumb, for instance, but I didn't find that concept entirely organic in the execution. It seemed to devalue the fight for the first move the first time more than actually providing me with a sense of execution. It meant that by the time that very final run had happened, they'd already more or less lost me. It's also important to note that while these were my honest thoughts, I was harsher on the back half of the match because I liked the first twenty minutes so much and also because I could see something really, truly great in the big picture if they had just simplified. I know looking for even a modicum of minimalism in this series is probably a mistake but here it would have improved things. There were so many smart moments but there was a massive lack of working smart.

He'll get a way bigger pop if he's in a video game first, though. I saw that with Vader.

You are the grumpiest person ever to post in this board. That is amazingly impressive. You deserve a trophy.

I haven't watched anything new in over a month. I've been doing a good job with this.

Don't sweat being behind. This note isn't going anywhere and I'd love for as many people as possible to make it through.

I made the twelve year old watch 2001 and he hated it so much that it is a viable punishment now.

An old favorite:

There is this, not taped: WCW @ Cleveland, OH - Public Hall - March 19, 1992 Ron Simmons & Big Josh fought Big Van Vader & Vinnie Vegas to a double disqualification; Simmons sustained an eye injury early on and was replaced by Marcus Alexander Bagwell; the match ended after Simmons came back out, with a brawl ensuing

You always hear that older talent really like to work for them. I think the term "class act" has been used. That is the one positive thing in the world I have to say about them, except for the fact that they are obviously people who have fun doing what they love. They just happened to be a blight upon it. I never had to judge them for the 500 though.

That seems to happen a lot. I'm not sure Ambrose or Reigns are as over as a lot of people think they are. I don't think Goldust is particularly over. He still gets good reactions because of his timing and his knowledge of when and how to work the crowd. I think Ambrose was doing a lot of things right there, things that should have gotten reactions and they just didn't.

I get that canada is bizarro land and all but I didn't get the crowd not reacting to some of Ambrose's stuff.

See, that's a nice legacy right there. I wonder why he didn't put that on the belt.

So one week? Hey now. He's filming a movie here. It's not like he tore his ACL or something. These things take time.

Big Show Gif Challenge.

Well, time to drop everything.

That's kind of why I hate college football, but that's more of the existence of it instead of a quality thing.

God damn you internet, why can't I find the Luke Harper's head in space picture? This was the perfect moment for it.
